Now, the Turino olympic was over. It's no doubt figure skating was the highlight for Japanese. Japan awaited the first medal and ShizukaArakawa made it! She must savor the taste of her triumph and the significance of her achievement. To tell you the truth, Miki Ando is my favorite skater. She is voluptuous. But I have to admit that her skating is awkward for the very best skater and lacks of sophisticated performance. It's easy for even nonexpert to find out her inaccuracy. To the contrary, Arakawa's skating was perfect. No one can beat her. Figure skating has been dominated by Europeans and North Americans. I'm very happy that she became the first Olympic gold medalist from Asia.
